The Pleading Woman

The believers wished that one day Islam would spread to lands that were under the rule of Rome and Persia, the most powerful empires at that time. The hypocrites used to make fun of them, saying, You have lost your mind! Do you think those superpowers are like those little, weak towns that you beat in your backyard?(Recorded by Imam Al-Qurtubi)

However, in less thana century, the Muslim rule spread even beyond Rome and Persia, cover- ing from China in the east to the Atlantic Ocean in the west, including all of North Africa and Some parts of Europelike Turkey and Spain.
